Investments and shares

Investing in Oasis

Q: I will be receiving a large sum of money from pension pay out from the government upon resignation . If I do not put this in another pension fund, will be taxed heavily by sars. Is Oasis a shariah complaint fund to put my money in the pension fund. Where else do you suggest we invest the Shariah way?

Commission

Q: Kaashif is the business owner and Kamran is the investor who invested $500 and Usman is the person who refers and brought Kamran to invest in Kashif's business, and in return Kashif gives bonus 20% percent of invested money to Usman which is $50, and it does not affect on Kamran's shares and profit. So my question is that such kind of bonus or commission which is given by Kashif to Usmaan is Halaal?

Organo gold

Q: Is it haraam to earn an income from organo gold? It works a lot like blessings/rewards for say teaching quraan and that knowledge being passed on and you getting rewards for that from Allah. In addition to your normal profit of buying and selling, you will get a commission from the company when you bring people on to your team and tutor them and you keep working together and then they brings others and they tutor and work together, the people do not loose money to you for this tutoring and help but the company pays you a commission for this continuous advertising and tutoring you do for others and then they do for others and so on, to keep promoting their company. Is this a haraam income?
